Avraham Eisenberg, accused of a $116 million exploit of Mango Markets, has been moved to SBF's prison amid a trial delay.
The trial of alleged Mango Markets exploiter Avraham Eisenberg, originally scheduled for Dec. 4 of this year, has been postponed to April 8, 2024, court documents show.
Eisenberg's lawyers asked for a postponement after their client was "unexpectedly transferred" from his prison in New Jersey to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn — the same prison where Sam Bankman-Fried has been held since his bail was revoked this August. Eisenberg's lawyers also argued that they need more time to prepare a defense due to the "complex and novel legal and factual issues" and the "voluminous" quantity of discovery produced by the government. Prosecutors, in opposing the motion, argued, "The defendant committed the charged offenses alone, on a single day, through a discrete set of financial transactions," and that the defense has had plenty of time to prepare.
“I believe all of our actions were legal open market actions, using the protocol as designed, even if the development team did not fully anticipate all the consequences of setting parameters the way they are," he said. The wire fraud charges carry sentences of up to 20 years in prison.© 2023 The Block. All Rights Reserved. This article is provided for informational purposes only.
